Nerull - Thanks for the information. So it is as I suspected. No problem, then - I'll play the Temple in good ol' Billy Milano way, i.e., "kill them all and have a ball and end their f*kin' crisis".
Stamar, I am not quite sure what to make of (the most of) your post. Are you implying that I should not be enjoying this game? If so, that was uncalled for, I'm afraid. The current market is not exactly overloaded with turn-based single-player CRPGs where you can build your own party. I've been playing such games since C64 days (back in 1980s), and I have already completed almost all that are currently available. Sure, ToEE is not exactly stellar, but it is still lightyears ahead of any real-time online clickfest - for me. It allows me to plan and build my own party and control them in a turn-based environment; that alone is incentive enough to complete this game.
This is drifting off-topic, I know, but what the heck, I started this thread so I guess I get to say what's on-topic here and what's not.
So if you think that ToEE sucks, please recommend a recent modern CRPG that
-allows me to build any kind of party like (consisting of characters that *I* create instead of choosing/hiring pre-generated characters)
-offers turn-based action/combat
-is strictly single-player (not online multiplayer crap)
-is better than ToEE
I will be glad to look into it once I have completed ToEE. But the chances are I have already played & completed the game. :/ Sadly, today's game industry is geared towards online realtime games. Real-time & quick decisions/actions do not go well with strategic complexity - which I would rather have.
